I lifted heavy weight which accidentally got on my knee and the ligament below knee got strained and I am unable to walk. Any sudden movement of the leg gives heavy pain.. this is on my left knee..
I do workout. And due to this I wont beable to.
I went to a physio and she gave ultra sound treatment.. i had a pain killer.. still pain continues..
I am keeping ice packs.
Some one told me to pour hot water on the affected area. I am resting with my leg over the pillow.
Need an expert advise.

You should see an orthopedic for a complete evaluation, might need a MRI to find out involved joint structures and tissue. Once you know the degree of the injury, you should start physiotherapy. If itâs 1-2 degree of ligament injury it will easily take 10-12 weeks for a moderate recovery and could take up to 6-8 months for the ligaments to heal completely. Physiotherapy will be very important for a great recovery.
Next Steps
Find a good orthopedic and a PT
Health Tips
Ice, rest, no gym workout for affected joint, use a knee support during standing and walking.
